My New Training Log

[PainThriller]

Well it has been a while since i did one of these. I slacked off big time with the last one so it's stupid to start off with that one again. Here was my workout today, and i got some pics up.

Flexer: 3 sets of 100

Bench Press: 230 5 X 10

Dumbell Press: 70's 3 X 15

2nd Bench Lockout

What do ya think of my traps? Im no bodybuilder by any means but i don't wanna become unpurportioned either in any area.

[AJ010]

I'm glad to hear that you've started a new journal. I'll be looking forward to your progress.

Nice workout. You're handling pretty good weights there. And, you're pretty big. Keep it up!

[PainThriller]

Today (Friday, April 8, 2003)

Set 3: 200 lbs plus 30 lbs(230 lbs) of chain 2 X 5

Set 4: 210 lbs plus 30 lbs of chain(240 lbs) 2 X 5

Set 5: 230 lbs plus 30 lbs of chain(260 lbs) 2 X 4

Chains felt great, just got them today and i have never used chains before in my workouts. The extra 30 lbs of resistance felt great, but not as heavy as i thought.

Dumbell Presses: 70's 3 X 12

Chest Flies: 35's 3 X 20

Close Grip: 200 plus 30 lbs chain(230) 3 X 3

Seated Dumbell Curls: 35's 3 X 12

Shrugs: 70's X 65 reps, 1 set

Explosive Barbell Shrugs: 335 lbs 3 X 8

Good workout i think. Went for over an hous cause i was taking my sweet time. Shrugs were awesome, went up 5 reps with the 70's.

[AJ010]

Awesome workout. You're handling some good weight there. I'm impressed alot with those explosive shrugs. Train hard!

[PainThriller]

Squats: 200 X 20(im not going all out on these anymore cause my knees lock up afterwards.)
Hack Squat: 350 3 X 10(easy)
Leg Press: 6 plates X 8, 5 plates X 8, 4 plates X 12, 3 plates X 15, 2 plates X 20, 1 plates lost count
Leg Extension: My home gym with real plates 145 3 X 10
Leg Curls: 80 3 X 10

My legs are SHOT TO SHIAT! 20 reps squats are great for speed, im gonna do those quite often now cause i love that burn.

[hugedude]

looks good how long have you been lifting and what are your goals

[PainThriller]

Thanks man. I have been lifting for about 6 years total, 5 of them not realy having a set routine like i do now. My goals are just to be strong and maybe if i decide to do some heavy squats again, do a couple comps and hopefully win. My one long shot goal in lifting is to bench 500, clean and no drugs and still be the same size. I don't care if my muscles are pretty and cut, i just wanna be one strong mother****er that nobody ****s with :).

[hugedude]

nice!

[AJ010]

Great workout! That is a lot of leg work! It looks all good.
Do you know why your knees lockout after heavy squats?

Yes i do, most of the cartilage in my knees are worn out. I used to do heavy squats all the time even at the age of 13 if you can believe that. That is what probably did it because at that age, i don't think your body is ready for that kind of work yet.

[AJ010]

Wow, I didn't even know. Maybe one day you'll go back to heavy squats. I hope I can too.

Eh, i don't know. I myself am not realy a fan of the squat in general. I just want to keep my legs strong enough so i can lift heavy things. I don't need to be squatting 600 or 700 for that matter. If i get back up to 390 or 410 ill be happy, but other than that squatting isn't my main concern, and it never was. Looking at pics and vids of all these injuries that have happened to heavy squatters, and espicially the pic of that dudes butthole literally turning inside out, i say **** that.

[PainThriller]

My 17 inch arm from last year.

[AJ010]

Not bad at all. Nice size ya got there

So, I see what you're saying about the squat. I think that's a very respectable opinion you have. But, what about deadlifting?

[PainThriller]

I don't have a fear of deadlifting, i love deadlifting the most out of all the 3 lifts. 475 baby, thats my max on the dead. They don't hurt my knees too bad either. I have decided one thing about heavy squats, and me solution is heavy box squats. I maxed out with a 545 box squat today in my fitness class, i figure these will keep my legs nice and stong.

[AJ010]

Wow, very nice job on that 545 box squat. Alright, so i see what you're saying. Keep up the training!

[PainThriller]

Friday: Cleans, Clean and Jerk

Cleans: 3X3 190, 200, 210, 220, 225 X 2 3rd I hurt my wrist.

Clean and Jerk: 3X3 150, 160, 170, 180, 190, 200 X 1, 205 X 1, 210 X 0. It's been a while since i have done these before, and i seem to have lost my ability to use my bottom half to it's fullest. My form is off, but i just have to work it down a bit more. Front squats tommorow, i love this lift.

Jerks: 190 X 3, 200 X 3

Dumbell Militaries: 70's X 10, 1 set

Dumbell Shrugs: 90's X 20, 3 sets

Tommorow i am going crazy on the front squats, low weight, high sets and reps for explosiveness. Gotta get my clean and jerk back to 235.

[Fullback_45]

Very nice!! Awsome box squat to. Things look great.

[AJ010]

Very impressive stuff!

[PainThriller]

Tuesday:

Front Squats: 140 3 X 15
Leg Extensions: 150 3 X 12

Thats all i did on Tuesday. Heres today, i did my school Bigger, Faster, Stronger program.

BFS Bench: 3 X 3

Warmup: 140 X 5, 230 X 1

For sets: 240 X 3, 260 X 3, 270 X 3

This was in fitness today, people were looking at me as if i was some kind of superhumen. I told them that was noting compared to what i used to use when i was heavier. Their jaws almost hit the floor. Plus i go insane in fitness, i scream and yell, not to mention i call everyone in my class a bunch of pansies :D. My football coach loves my intensity.

Incline Dumbells: 75's X 10, 80's X 8, 85's X 6, 90's X 4 PR

Getting realy strong on these incline dumbells, im trying to beat my football coach who does the 90's for 15 on incline. He's 40 years old, and is incredibly strong and in great shape for his age. Great guy, and he knows his ****. He's making me curb my cursing by making me do wallsits everytime i curse. Those damn things hurt.

Closegrips plus 30 pounds of chain: 140 plus chain 5 X 10

I now weigh 180 pounds, been on ephedrine for about 2 weeks now dropping weight rapidly. Im not using that **** anymore cause i have heard too many stories about it. Felt good and strong today, feel stronger than when i was heavier.

[Fullback_45]

EEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRR 180!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lol now your at my weight and 5x stronger lol. Good job though, how much more weight do you want to lose? Keep it up. Good Incline indeed.

Ur doing pretty good urself there too man, thanks for your compliments. I want to get down to about 170, cause the football coach is holding a school powerlifting compettition at the end of the year. If i go as light as i can i know i will kill everybody else in my weight class, and i still beat lifters in my school who are heavier than me.

[PainThriller]

And the PR is..........

Tommorow i have the BFS program to do. I will only be benching once a week and i can't wait to see where im at by the end of the year.

Another friend, 315 on the squat to 395 in 3 weeks time. This program is abosoloutly amazing. It got me to my 255 powerclean, in a month.

Thanks Steel, this program is very new and you have to switch things up once and a while in this sport to keep making gains. The BFS program gets great reviews, and i see all these football players making these huge jumps in short periods of time. I think benching, deadlift, squatting and powercleaning once a week to be very helpful.

Man I really dont know. I did 190 today for 5, felt alright, 205 for 5 the last week, 220 for 2 before that. I tried the arch today and man, i couldnt get anything with that. So i stuck to my moderate arch. Next week im going to take it extremely light. ON max day im hopeing for something like

135x4, 135x2, 185x1, 225x1, 245x1, 250


IM going to do it on a sunday, stay home, eat all day, adn sleep then go in there with a spotter and give it hell. Hope it works, im a bit doubful though.

Don't be doubtful, you will fail if you are being that way. Try wrestler bridges to improve your arch. I do them alomost everyday, and my arch keeps getting better. Do them up until the max day, that should set you on the right path.

[Fullback_45]

Is a wrestlers bridge were you lay on your back, rotate your head backwards till your upside down and your belly faceing up supportied by your legs? Thanks for the hlep bro.

[AJ010]

Damn, nice workout! Really nice stuff there.

Fullback, that is what I think is a wrestlers bridge.

Thanks Steel, how are you coming along since your injury? The worst things that have happened to me in powerlifting were minor a pec tear and one nasty lat tear. Your lifts in your sig are realy good for your age, and weight. Give me an update bro.

[PainThriller]

Todays workout: Did a bunch or shrugs.

140 with 6 10's on each side as drop sets. Worked my way down to just the 45's and did 22 reps for each weight. Traps are blasted.

Thanks bro. My injury is doin great now. I'm pretty much healed and have started light lifting again. I benched 195x1 and squatted 135x4(not too hard, and did 3 sets) on tuesday and back is still holding up.

Damn, pec and lat tears. That must have sucked. :( How long were you out of lifting for?

Nice job on the shrugs. A lot of reps you did lol. Keep it up.

[PainThriller]

Today: Went for a bench record

Today absoloutly sucked, and i didn't even beat my old record of 295 on the bench board. A real depressing day for me indeed. I flipped out and kicked the balance board and smashed the clips on the weightroom floor. I can't handle days like this, i don't even know what i did wrong that made me screw up today. Maybe it's the fact that my dad went under the knife again today and i just kept thinking about it, but i don't realy believe in the whole mental excuse too much. Im not going to make excuses, this was a learning expierence and not only did i learn not to do too much on off days, but to not smash clips on the floor cause it could hit someone in the head. This better not happen again cause if it does, someone is going to feel my rage.

At least the injuries didn't put you out for too long. Ive been out for nearly 3 months.

You'll feel better next workout probably.

As i recall i was out for nearly 4 months. Do you think today will affect me in the rest of my workouts? Today was realy bad man.

[Fullback_45]

Dont let it get to you man. It will only affect you if you let it. Thats the part of the game, sometimes you surpass your on personal pr by a mile, sometimes it just aint there, next time it will be though. Carry on man, no shame, just remeber its still in you, for a better day.

Your right, im not making any excuses. A true lifter learns his mistakes, and never lets iy happen again. Thanks for those words bro, good luck on your training as well.

Oh ok, I'm mistaken then. 4 months is a long time imo.

I dont think today will affect your workouts that much really. I've had plenty of bad workouts but the upcoming ones were great! Maybe it was just the day. Sorry about missing though :(
I agree with Fullback. Next time will be better.

[PainThriller]

It will be better, i guarentee it.

I hear about that stuff here. What exacltey is that, is the like real wreslteing or some WWF something rather with chairs and tables. Is that were your name comes from?

[PainThriller]

Hello all, I am finally back online after the most recent computer crash i got. I got around to getting it fixed this week, took me about a month. I have ran into a list of problems this past month with family issues and what not, and yesterday i suffered a torn maniskis in my leg next to my knee. It is my right knee, and i have been having trouble with it for 3 years. I found out that it was a double injury, which might have stemmed from last year when i was in football camp cause i had the same pain, and i cause me to quit. It is a pretty bad tear, being as i already had missing cartilage to begin with, now i just tore some. Surgery is a question, and if it is considered then i fear that this is going to affect my strength big time. Good thing i can still work upperbody, but now i can't do my cleans which was 260, and jerkpresses which i hit a 240 PR on thursday. Just thought id keep you guys updated, and boy am i happy im back online.

[Fullback_45]

Welcome back bro. Wondered were you dissappeaered to. Sorry to hear about your tear, that sucks. Nice PR there anyhow. Keep pressing on!

[AJ010]

I'm really sorry to hear about your tear. I hope things go for the better for you, as I hope for me.

My name is the name of a wrestling move. It's a sick move where you pick somebody up in a reverse firemans carry, hook your apponents arm and dump them onto their neck. It's the greatest wrestling move of all time.

[PainThriller]

Yesterday i was told i couldn't lift because i had one good leg and they didn't want me to jepordize anything. They said if i bench press, i wouldn't be able to stabilize myself cause i couldn't move my right leg. Well, i went home, looked at my bench and said **** THAT! Today is my bench training day and im not missing a day on my quest to 350 by the end of next year. So, i took my right leg and placed it on top of the bench so it was elevated, then took my left leg and planted it firmly on the ground, and guess what, GOOD BALANCE! Heres how the workout went.

Thursday: Bench, Triceps and shoulders

Heavy doubles on the bench today, 2 sets each weight.

230 as a warm up.

250 for 2 sets, went down nice and slow, no arc.

260 for 2 sets, slow and no arc.

270 for 2 sets, same movement and no arc.

280 for 2 sets, this was nice and easy surprisingly.

290 for 2 sets, hard and heavy. Felt great.

300 for 2 sets, struggled big time on the second.

Close Grip Bench:

155 X 12, 3 sets

Barbell Skull Crushers

140 X 10, 3 sets

Barbell Militaries:

115 X 15, 3 sets

Then did 230 on the bench to end the workout, did 12 reps.


Yesterday was a great workout and i wasn't feeling to into it either. Was alot harder on the bench cause i couldn't use my other leg to drive into the ground, but i think the workout from yesterday will make me stronger cause i havn't done full ROM in a while, and the burning sensation felt awesome. All sets were flat back, full ROM.

Believe me bro, if i didn't have to go all the way to DE and spend the day there i would have done it way later. Had to go out with my father on a job, he wasn't leaving me home. Was a great workout, and i felt great throughout the day. He made my day too, cause at the end he took me to GNC and let me get a box of Detour bars. They are so good, as a matter of fact im eating one right now, but back on track. If you ever have time, do a workout in the morning, it makes the day go so much smoother bro. The knee should be fine, thanks bro. Hopefully i can deadlift soon cause i don't want it going down. Oh yeah.....

200 X 6

210 X 4

220 X 2

Next bench day is Friday, and thats when im going to attempt my next PR at school.

[PainThriller]

Just did floor presses

4 sets of 2

230 lbs for all sets

[PainThriller]

Yesterday i went for a school record of 315. Tried 300 first attempt, and got it then put 3 45's on. It stalled on lockout about half an inch away from it. People were giving me props and told the coach to count it but i said no, i didn't complete the lift. I should have tried 305 to bump my 300 record up 5 pounds, but it was my fault cause i benched on sunday as well.

[PainThriller]

Here are some brand new pics.

[Fullback_45]

Hehehe, I wish i had that kind of authority. 400 no doubt bro.

[PainThriller]

Today im am going to do a bench workout with the reps being 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Will have the results later today.

Set 1: 5 X 260
Set 2: 4 X 270
Set 3: 3 X 280
Set 4: 2 X 290
Set 5: 1 X 310


Very good workout today. Did some close grips and bent over rows. Next workout is Wednesday. I think the sets are 3 X 3. Looking to hit a PR next workout like 300 X 3.

Dude Poppa all the dudes in my school are women, I OWN ALL THEIR ASSES :). My mistake i own the benchpress. The funny thing is i basically do own a bench in that school because i always steal the best bench in the school when i get there and i dominate it the whole damn time. The coach said, "you can't dominate that bench the whole damn training session", i said "why not, i bench more than everybody else, i desereve the best bench", he then said "can't argue with you there". I let other people on it though :). The best thing though is when everybody crowds around me when im lifting. I swear it's like a famous NFL star just walked in the building and people start crowding around him. It's kinda cool though cause i remember when i use to do that, now people do it around me. I like helping those people too, im glad that i can actually give advice to people now and help them succeed.

Dude if you keep training, everything will even itself out man. Just train hard and eat lots, thats what i learned. Yo could you do me a favor and check out my pics thread and tell me how my form is on the incline press? It's in the powerlifting section of this board. Tell me if my butts coming off cause if it is indeed, i wanna paractice form. Im getting a little annoyed though cause there is this realy annoying poster on my thread, he's ruining it. Oh well, what are ya gonna do.

Next workout is next Wednesday. It will be 3X3, and im looking to hit 300 for 3. Here is what Wed is going to look like.

Bigger, Faster, Stronger Program Bench sets of 3 X 3

Assistance: Jm Press, Reverse Grip Bench(never done em, gonna add some new stuff to keep my body guessing), Floor Presses, Pushdowns, Heavy Extensions, Lat Pulldowns, Barbell Bent Rows

The plan now is to rest, and eat big to recover for the next workout. I plan to make some heavy ass gains this summer.

[Fullback_45]

Thanks bro, your coming along good yourself :). The BFS program is great. I have made some awesome gains on it, and i plan to use it throughout the summer. This program is realy going to help me on my quest for 400 IMO, but i also have AMG on stand by with a powerlfting/bodybuilding hybrid style program in the works. The BFS program is O Lifts combined with powerlifts, lots and lots of fun :D. Does your school use that program Fullback?

[Fullback_45]

Good sh!t. Yea just read your and AMG's conversations. My school uses a 5x5 routine. Looks something like this:

Monday:
Bench 5x5
Squat 5x5
Powerclean 5x5

Wendsday:
Bench 5x5
Squat 5x5
Powerclean 5x5

Friday:
Bench 5x5
Squat 5x5
Powerclean 5x5

"and anything you do outside of that is just good" our coach says.

Dude these are the ****. Perfect for Trap Stabilization. What you do is you grab a barbell or an EZ bar, and sit in a seat as you would do dumbell militaries in. You then bring the bar up to your chest, and press strait out in front of you as if your doing a bench press, and hold it for about a second, then bring it back, and repeat, locking your elbows out every rep. You feel it in your traps, triceps, shoulders, and chest. They are great, give em a try.

Your doing excellent, once you hit 2 plates embarassment shouldn't even be a factor. A friend of mine finally benched 2 45's for the first time in his life yesterday for football strength testing, and boy was he happy. He never benched anything over 195, but he finally hit 2 plates and i told him to look for 240 next max. The rest of his lifts are great, he has a 450 squat, now has a 225 bench, and an awesome 465 deadlift. Not to mention he can jerkpress 250 with great ease. Thanks for the compliment man :), i should have been at 400 by now, and i would have if i started powerlifting a year ago. Wait till you see what im going to be putting up by the end of this summer, i can almost guarentee that it's going to be huge.

[AmateurWrestler]

no problem man :)


i dont know, im really hard on myself and i demand so much that on the time when i cant do a lift it destroys me

[PainThriller]

Originally posted by AmateurWrestler

I know what your saying. I get like that aswell, but in the end i pull myself together and just do it. Hit yourself in the face if you have to, get pissed, and if that doesn't work have somebody do it for you and pretend the weight is the son of a bitch that hit you. Music like i said is also a big influence. Im layed back when im not training, but when the time comes i turn up some heavy, ripping metal, slam my face and get to work. It took some time getting that edge, but it can be attained. Lift angry and focused, youll notice big differences.

[AmateurWrestler]

alright bro thanks for all the help :)

[Fullback_45]

Awsome job pain 315. Thats a handsome bench!!!

[PainThriller]

Thanks man, 350 is my next target.

Tommorow im going to do some board presses, gonna try the 90 lb dumbells for 10 reps on the incline bench, then do some heavy tricep work. If i do the 90's for 10, he will bring in a pair of 100's, and i want to work with them so bad.

Good deal dude. Im sure that program will help you out. Should get you to where you want to be. I have confidence in you, and you should have high hopes as well.

Today im doing 5 sets of heavy tripples on 3 board press. Im going to use my max which is 315. 3 boards is my sticking point which is the halfway point. Im gonna work hard with this today, and get some good tricep and lat work in afterwards.

[PainThriller]

Nailed all 5 sets of 3 on 3 board press with my max of 315. Then did some Incline DB Press with the 90's. Im so close to 10. Did 8 the first set, and worked from 8, 6, 4, then did 2 very slow. Did some Tate Presses flat bench with 50's, did 1 set of 6. Then did Nider Presses with 70 pounds for 3 sets of 5. Then did T-Bar Rows and worked all the way up to 5 plates for 6.

[AJ010]

Nice job on the 3 board man! That's really great.

Just did a speed bench workout of 9 light tripples.

190

210

230

Then i worked my way into speed singles. Hit a PR today.

250(u kidding me?)

280(still, what gives?)

300 PR! (wow, fast as ****!)

300 left the bottom realy quick, lock out took about 1 1/2 seconds to lock out. To think i was maxing that not to long ago. I think my max of 315 has went up again, but i don't know for sure. I tell ya one thing, speed bench was feeling great, and my Inzer knee wraps came today. Did some squats with 300 pounds in the wraps, and it felt good to do some squats again. I felt literally NO pressure on my right knee, and thats a god sent. I have a feeling i might be back to 3 lifts once again sonner than later. As long as this therapy helps, recovery after surgery won't be too bad. Can't wait to start full strength again.

Awesome job on that speed single! Damn, ive only gotten up to like 175 feeling fast. Your max probably went up.

Also, I hope you get back into the Big 3 soon man. I hope your knee doesnt take to long to recover whether you have surgery or not.

Thanks man, knee still hurts when i move certain ways but it's cool. I think this knee problem will straiten out nice. Thats a very good single to man, your bench is great for your weight and age same with the rest of your lifts. I wish you the same bro with your injury. Your looking very good in your training right now and you will most def be back to the big 3 in no time.

Great, at least its not too bad. I mean, even tho with a wrap,you did squat 300 for some reps.


And thanks bro. Knee is feelin fine, but still hurt a little. I'm addin 5lbs to my squat every time i do it as rehab, along with hindu squats. Tomorrow I'll be usin 55lbs lol.

Bench has always been a stronger point. If I didnt stop benching in march, I'd be up to 230 by now probably....but who can really tell. My bench has always been within 50lbs of my squat :-/

I hope i do get back to real stuff soon. I feel like I'm a lil lost right now, cuz its been a while. But im guessin in a month or two i'll be somewhere close to real liftin.

[BPP]

Pro-Pain- One Man Army lyrics

"One Man Army

Beat down like a pile of junk
Politically incorrect
We knew he deserved the best But he never got no respect
Six kids and an empty wallet
With a hole the size of a dime
Not a dollar or a dream to boot
He thanks God for a hell of a time

Here lies the middle class
What once was is now past
Our forefathers spent their lives cultivating this ?
One man army born and bred
Never cared much what no one said
Worked all dat till his fingers bled
He was a one man army

One day he bought a shotgun
And went home and sat on the bed
He downed more than a couple of drinks
That put the 's' word in his mouth
So the future is not so bright when everything looks so dim
Then he tought about who he loves
But thought more about who loves him

Too much pain and no gain
Suck the blood from my veins
I work too hard to have you
Take it all away

I see red when you see green
Kill us all when we turn 18
If oppertunity ever knocked
I guess we weren't home"

Get this song, it rocks big time.

[Fullback_45]

Count me in aswell, ill make all of you look like childs play!!! Ill download that song tomarrow. Ive never really listend to music to get me pumped, only use it to reflect, useually some german stuff, freaky as hell, and if you dont know what the words mean, they can mean anything you want them to.

Ok used the Inzer Knee Wraps today and did some jerks. Heres how it went.

190 x 3

200 X 3

210 X 3

230 X 1

Had my spotter give me a hand with 230, but i don't think i lost much of any or at all jerk press strength. Then did some flat dumbell presses.

90's X 10

They were easy, and i got 2 more out of what i do on the incline. You figure i bench 315, thats about right for now. Gotta get some 100's in that gym man. Then moveed into some T-Bar Rows.

4 Plates and a 25 3 X 6

All in all i did a good workout today. Jerk Presses were great, those wraps took the pressure right of my right knee. Damn it feels good. I don't think i lost any strength in the squat wither. Id say i can still do around 390-400 hopefully.

[Fullback_45]

[PainThriller]

Just did some trap, shoulder and bicep work.

Saturday, July 12

Shrugs

95's 3 X 15

70's 3 X 25

Just got these 95 lb db's today. They are one of the most beautiful things i have ever seen.

Upright Rows

80 lbs 3 X 12

Side Lateral Raises

30's 3 X 10

Barbell Curls

80 lbs 4 x 12

Felt good to get some blood pumping to my biceps for a change. Havn't done a bodybuilding style bi workout in a little while. The 95's were a little easy for the shrugs but the last set was killer. That made it tough for the 70's to come next. Great feeling in traps i gotta tell ya, then the upright rows finished them off. Side Raises were tough, hav't done them in a while. Great workout, don't think i over did it either.

[PainThriller]

Note: Football coach almost screwed me out of my last record at school because he said that my ass almost came off the bench. Those damn benches are so damn low. I said lets put some boards under it to elevate it off the gound an inch or so. He said that next record he's going to have me use a pad under my ass so he doesn't have put boards under it. I guess thats ok, but i know my ass has never come off. It almost has cause their so damn low to the ground. My bench is nice and high at my house, and all the other benches i have used are Forzas ans their way higher off the ground than the one at school. Oh well, if it insures i don't get screwed i don't realy care.

[Fullback_45]

Coaches are pricks. There is a big difference then off and almost off! THe benches at my school are real skinny, and there like a green color. Remind me of something back in the 50's. Strong workout aswell bro. You hustle some good size dumbells there.

He's a cool guy when im not going for a record, but when i do he's like "you can arch, but keep your butt on the bench" which i do at all times but it is a little difficult cause their so damn thin and low to the ground. If it was a Forza or the bench i have at home there wouldn't be a problem. Oh well i did use the pad though a couple times to see what it was like, im glad that it felt exactly the same, and it also made me feel a little better because i now have an "insurance policy" so to speak to ensure that i don't get screwed. My bench is atleast an inch and a half higher off the ground then the ones at school, the Forzas are even higher. Here is a pic of the bench im talking about. All it needs is a board under it and i would be fine.

[AJ010]

Nice workout. Weights lookin good. Damn coach......maybe hes jealous of your bench :D

[PainThriller]

Thanks bro. Man you just never know, but that would be sweet if he is jealous. He's a cool guy though. I don't realy want to use that pad, but it's still an official lift so i don't care. As long as i break that record before summer ends. I would like him to put some boards under that **** though, it is realy low to the ground. The pad sinks into the bench so it like becomes one with it, kinda cool.

[PainThriller]

I have been up thinking whether or not if i should go for a 320 bench tommorow, and i think im going to do it. Im realy going to try to tie or break the record in my mind cause if i think that, i think i might even be able to match it or break it with even greater concentration. Im going to use that pad too so it insures that i don't get screwed. Wish me luck cause im going for it all tommorow. Im just sick of looking at that ****ing record, it's gotta go.

You'll do it. Just keep yourself in the groove.
And remember, if Mendelson can bench 875, there's no reason you can't do 320 ;)

Good luck

Thanks bro, I feel strongly that ill get it. It's just the fact that i have to use a frieken pad for no reason. Oh well, it's still official so i should be happy. I have got to stop whining and just do it.

youll smoke it :cool:

[gibbs_6]

Nice squat even with the hurt knee man

[PainThriller]

Heres how the record attempt went.

Warmed up with 250. Then put 320 on and killed it. I then jumped all the way up to 345 pulling a Scott Mendelson, and got it halfway then it stalled, and i just lost all power in the triceps. I used his stupid pad as well, and it kept me in my groove. I do kind of like using it now, but it just makes me feel kind of odd. Well im happy with the result and there is always next time.


Pain

[John Promise]

Damn that's awesome! Good luck and now you have a new goal to look forward to. You'll crush 345 soon.

[BPP]

awesome on the 320 bro :)

350 next time ;)

[PainThriller]

Thanks all for the compliments. I think im going to make 330 my next target, then go for 345-350. Last night i did some assistance work.


95 lb dumbell presses

8 reps

6 reps

4 reps

2 reps

These 95's are heavy. I can't wait to do these for 10.

Floor Presses

190 8 X 6

Close Grip Floor Presses 160 3 X 6

Side Lateral Raises

35 4 X 10


Did that at 3:00 in the morning. Got to get every little helping impliment in. If i plan to kill 350 i have to train the triceps harder. Thats what i realized as i will make wednesday an all speed bench, lat and tricep workout day.

[AJ010]

Kick ass job on that 320 bro! Thats awesome! 350 in no time.
lol the only lift ive gotten 320 up is rack pull lol.

Thanks Steel, 320 i guess is pretty good for an 18 year old. I should be alot higher, but i started a little late i think. Thats a good rack pull for your age and weight. Just give it time bro, your going to make it big in powerlifting, youll see. Yeah the lifting at 3 in the morning is awesome, i think i have insomnia or something cause i just can't sleep. What better to do then lift when you can't sleep? I have big plans for myself in this sport. Just got to get a little stronger and drop some more weight.

Dude lifting at odd hours is the best. All i have is a bench/squatrack at my house with 2 bars, a set of 70 pound and 95 pound dumbells and some roll on dumbells that go up to 35 pounds, but theres so much you can do still with just that. Try creating a gym in your house if you have the room, it's the best place to train.
